Principles and Applications of Geochemistry

Illustrating how chemical principles control geological processes in atomic and large-scale environments, this work emphasizes a quantitative approach to problem-solving. It includes a new chapter on chemistry of the atmosphere, and summaries of the geochemistry of Pb in the environment.
Intended as an introduction to Geochemistry for Geology majors in their senior year or first year of graduate work.

Designed to show students how to use chemical principles in solving geological problems, this text emphasizes a quantitative approach to problem solving and demonstrates how chemical principles control geologic processes in atomic and large-scale environments.
